Brief Summary
This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to activate Cursor AI Pro for free using the official 14-day trial and how to create multiple accounts on Cursor without needing new emails each time. The method involves using the same email to repeatedly sign up for new trials after deleting the previous account and canceling the subscription to avoid charges.
- Activate Cursor AI Pro for free.
- Create multiple accounts on Cursor with the same email.
- Avoid future charges by canceling the subscription.
Logging In and Checking Your Plan
To begin, go to the official Cursor website and log in with your primary Google account. Ensure that the account is currently on the free plan. If the Pro plan is still active, you must wait for it to expire before proceeding with the steps outlined in the video.
Deleting Your Account
To free up your email for a new 14-day Pro trial, delete your current account. Navigate to the settings, scroll to the bottom, and click on "delete account". Confirm the deletion when prompted to remove the account from the system.
Re-registering for a New Trial
Return to the homepage and click "sign in," then choose to continue with Google using the same email address you used previously. Cursor will treat this as a new account, granting you another 14-day Pro trial. Proceed to activate the Pro plan.
Activating the Pro Plan and Using Temporary Cards
At the Stripe checkout, a zero-value authorization will be performed to validate your payment method without charging you. It's recommended to use a temporary or virtual card for this confirmation, which can be created through banks or financial services, especially if you're in Brazil. If temporary cards aren't available, consider using prepaid cards to ensure safety and avoid costs. Click "start trial" to activate the Pro plan.
Verifying the Active Pro Plan
Confirm that the Pro plan is active by checking the dashboard, where it should be indicated as active and ready for use. Log into your Cursor account to verify the active Pro trial plan. With the Pro plan, you can use Claude Sonnet 4.0 and other features. The video confirms that everything is working by sending a test message.
Canceling the Subscription
To prevent future charges, log into your Cursor account and go to the subscriptions section. Disable and cancel the active Pro plan subscription to avoid automatic renewal after the 14-day free trial. Click on "manage subscription," then choose "cancel subscription" and confirm the cancellation.
Repeating the Process
When the plan expires or you reach the limits of the free trial, repeat the entire process. Delete the old account, create a new one with the same email, and activate the Pro plan again to continue enjoying the benefits of the Pro plan without any cost.
